I assume this is part of the transition process between the perl app and
the struts app - it is a somewhat unconventional approach!
As such I haven't tried it before, but the <tiles:insert> tag is looking
for a template or jsp, not just a string. Put those beanName and
beanProperty attributes on the <put> in the xml and use
<tiles:useAttribute name="body"/> in your jsp. You're passing in the raw
string of output, not the actual jsp.

Yes... I'm using a tiles-defs.xml. Let me rephrase the question...
Here's my tiles-defs.xml:
<definition name=".site.mainLayout" path="/jsp/tiles/layout.jsp">
<put name="body" value="" type="string" />
</definition>
My action uses a DynaActionForm and one of the form properties will
return a string like "<center><h1>This is a test</h1></center>". This
string needs to be inserted into the "body" attribute of the tile and
rendered as html code.
I was thinking that using the following in my JSP would take care of
this, but it doesn't. Here's the JSP line:
<tiles:insert attribute="body" beanName="showForm" beanProperty="target"
flush="true" />
Any clues what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks, ajTreece

I'm working on the layout with Tiles and having a difficult time
getting past this one issue. The Perl code has various header and
footer pieces of code based on whether a use id logged on or not and
whether the user is accessing what is termed an external or internal
facing web site. The Perl code determines which header and footer to
use and then reads in the data from various fragmented files...
massages it a little then writes it out to the display.
I'm thinking I could to the same thing initially with an action for
the header and footer that will make the determination, read in the
data, massage it as required and then pass it back out as a bean
property. I can't seem to find the correct syntax and Tiles tag to
insert/put the bean property into a Tiles definition. I've tired
<tiles:insert ... /> and <tiles:put ... /> with no success.
Hi Alan,
one of the best ways of getting tiles to work is literally just to
copy from the example application that you should be able to find on
the struts website.
however it seems you've got quite far already, but the technique
you're using isn't quite crystal clear to me - if you are putting data
into an attribute on the request in your action and you want to read
it in your tile JSP, you don't need any tiles tag for that, you just
pull it out of the request.attributes collection.
Perhaps we're talking at cross-purposes though - are you using a
tiles-defs.xml to define your tiles?
